    Study Notes

    Fitness

    • Fitness is the ability to cope with (or meet) the demands of the environment.

    • Examples of fitness include long distance running, sprinting, gymnastics, swimming, and even working in a supermarket.

    • The benefits of having a good level of fitness include improved physical health, better mental well-being, and increased longevity.

    Skeletal System

    • The skeleton is the framework of the body.

    • It provides support for the body, protects organs, allows for movement, and stores fat and minerals.

    Functions of the Skeletal System:

    • Movement:

      • The skeleton provides a framework for muscles to attach to.
      • Joints allow for movement.
      • Ligaments connect bones to bones.
      • Tendons connect muscles to bones.
      • Movement is essential for sports and everyday tasks.
    • Protection:

      • Bones protect vital organs like the brain, spinal cord, heart, lungs, and organs in the pelvis.
      • Protection is important both in sport and everyday life.
    • Support & Shape:

      • The skeleton gives the body its shape and allows it to stand upright.
      • Support allows the body to perform movements like handstands.
    • Blood Production:

      • Bone marrow produces red blood cells (carry oxygen) and white blood cells (fight infection).
    • Fat Storage:

      • Yellow bone marrow stores fat, which can be released as a source of energy.
